Cable Forum - View Single Post - General Does UBR change depending on package tier?

Ages ago, I used to be on the virgin media middle tier broadband package which I think at the time may have been about 20mb. The top one was 50mb. When I got put onto the 50mb one, it stopped all my service problems with high utilization. I was told by an engineer that the top package at the time avoided all of these utilization issues because it meant you connected to a different part of the network and I think a different UBR?

I want to find out what UBR I am on, and if it would change if I dropped down a package. The reason I ask is due to the recent speed increases and price increases. I was considering dropping down a tier and then effectively being on the same speed after upgrade pocketing a saving, but I don't want to if it changes the service negatively.

Can anyone advise?
